This blockhouse appears as they all did in 1813.

Little Battery defended the length of wall between the Grand Battery and Blockhouse 2

Croghan's Battery was named in honor of Captain George Croghan who oversaw it's construction and served with distinction at Fort Meigs. Croghan is best remembered for his defense of Fort Stephenson in August, 1813, the last British invasion of Ohio.

This blockhouse was destroyed during the First Siege of Fort Meigs. Another artillery battery, Henderson's Battery, was erected in it's place after the siege. It was named after an Ohio Militia member who volunteered to serve on the cannons alongside the 2nd Regiment, U.S. Artillery. Today, the building is used for storage by site staff and public admittance is restricted.

This blockhouse exhibit highlights daily soldier life at Fort Meigs including camp and medical displays.

Wood's Battery was named in honor of Captain Eleazar D. Wood, an early graduate of West Point and member of the U.S. Corps of Engineers. Wood oversaw the construction of Fort Meigs after Captain Gratiot, the chief engineer , became ill. Today, Fort Meigs stands in Wood County, Ohio, named in Eleazar Wood's honor. The Statue of Liberty was placed inside the courtyard of the star-shaped Fort Wood in New York Harbor, also named after him.

This building was constructed for park visitors in 1932 by the Works Progress Administration. The W. P. A. was a federal program designed to get people back to work after the Great Depression.

Hukill's Battery was named after Major Levi Hukill of Pennsylvania, who oversaw it's construction.

This blockhouse has modern restrooms for visitors. In 1813, soldiers dug sinks (holes) 100 yards outside the fort walls  to "ease" themselves. Only the sick were allowed access to sinks within the stockade.

The quartermaster used several large log warehouses to store food and supplies for the army. Archaeology at the site has not revealed the buildings' location or configuration. Today, this building serves as summer offices and work area for staff and volunteers.

The fort's well was dug in the opening days of the First Siege. In 1840, W. H. Harrison successfully ran for President and the largest political rally of the 19th Century was held at Fort Meigs. After the rally a log cabin, built for the rally to symbolize Harrison's political campaign, was torn down and the logs stuffed into the well. One of these logs is currently on display in the museum.

The Grand Parade ground was where the army turned out each day for roll call, inspection, and General Orders. Today, two men are buried in this field; Lieutenants John McCullough and Robert Walker.

In 1908, the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), a group of veterans who fought for the Union during the Civil War, held their national convention in Toledo, Ohio. Spurred by the coming convention, citizens living in the Maumee Valley and local  officials commissioned, built, and dedicated the 100 foot-tall obelisk that stands at the center of Fort Meigs.

The Pennsylvania Monument was erected in 1922 by the State of Pennsylvania. It sits atop the graves of Pennsylvania Militiamen who died at Fort Meigs.

The Grand Battery, or Big Battery, was the largest artillery emplacement built, housing up to four guns. It defended Hull's Trace and prevented the enemy from crossing the river on that road.

This blockhouse is opened during Special Events only. Volunteer interpreters transform this building into a field hospital, as many of the blockhouses were after the First Siege.

Eight gates were erected along the walls of the fort. Built high off the ground for ease of opening in mud and snow, they had an open construction that gave U.S. troops the ability to fire through at any enemy attempting to gain entry. Today, the posts of the Main Gate stand only 3" off of the original gate's location.

This blockhouse exhibit showcases the two sieges of Fort Meigs. Excerpts from participants' diaries help visitors gain an understanding of what happened.

Built to the same specifications as the Grand Traverse, the Rear Traverse gave added protection to the men within Fort Meigs. This traverse has been completely reconstructed. River Road originally ran the same route as the Rear Traverse, but was moved for Fort Meigs' reconstruction in the 1970s.

Measuring 12 feet high, 20 feet wide, and 300 yards long the Grand Traverse was built to protect the soldiers from incoming British artillery rounds. Today, the Grand Traverse is much smaller due to erosion, but it is the only original part of Fort Meigs still standing.

This blockhouse exhibit describes the significance of the fort's location and details its construction and defensive features.

Gratiot's Parade is a modern-day label for this field named after the Chief Engineer of Fort Meigs, Captain Charles Gratiot. Historically, the Ohio Militia was camped on this spot. Today, the field is the location of weapons demonstrations during Special Events.
